We knew dropping Alabama out of ERIC was going to be problematic since that was a major way that Alabama was able to meet the federal law requiring accurate voter rolls, to have secure and fair elections. Now we have a new, home-grown system that is taking ERIC’s place. What are the risks? What are your protected rights under the National Voter Registration Act?
We assembled an expert panel who will discuss the roll of the NVRA in protecting Voters and ensuring election integrity. They will also be able to shed light on why the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) was so needed and what the recently announced Alabama developed Alabama Voter Integrity Database (AVID) is doing to replace ERIC’s functionality.
Panelist include: Sylvia Albert, of Common Cause; Mitchell Brown, Professor of Political Science at Auburn University; and Adam Ambrogi, chief of external affairs at the LWV United States. The moderator for this forum is Stephanie Butler who is an officer in the League of Women Voters of Alabama.
